Chest Guide (Qualities & Mimics)

Chests are the primary source of items and guns in Enter the Gungeon. They always appear in Chest room, and can also be found after clearing rooms, from 사격 게임 진행자 – 윈체스터's game, or in secret rooms. Chest color corresponds to item 등급, and higher floors spawn better chests more often.

Chest room

Chest room chests are always locked and require a key. On each floor, one chest always contains a gun and the other always contains an item. This rule only applies to normal openings — destroying a chest bypasses this allocation.

Fuses

Entering a room with a chest has a chance (increased by Curse) of a fuse appearing next to it. If the chest isn't opened in time, it explodes and the contents are lost. Any 아이템 or 총기 that sprays liquid (except oil) can extinguish the fuse. Synergy Chest found in Chest room always have a fuse.

흉내쟁이

Any standard chest can be replaced by a 흉내쟁이. The chance increases with each point of Curse. Rainbow Chest, Synergy Chest, and Glitch Chest can never become a 흉내쟁이. Rat Chest is the exception: it can be a 흉내쟁이, it just never becomes one from 흉내내기 이빨 목걸이.

How to identify a 흉내쟁이

• Shoot the chest once: if it's a 흉내쟁이 it immediately reveals and attacks; if not, the chest takes no damage (explosions still destroy it)
• Watch the chest's mouth: a 흉내쟁이's mouth subtly moves as if breathing
• Owning a 개: the dog barks when you approach a disguised 흉내쟁이
• Chest room chests are always locked: an unlocked Brown Chest seen in a Chest room (or in the cellar-like secret room that always holds 3 chests) is always a 흉내쟁이. Chests from room clears and elsewhere are often unlocked anyway, so this tell does not apply there
• 믿음직한 자물쇠 따개 never provokes a 흉내쟁이, whether the pick succeeds or fails; 드릴 breaks the lock and provokes it immediately

Shooting to reveal a 흉내쟁이 does not consume a key. Defeating it drops the original contents plus extra loot. A 흉내쟁이's HP and damage scale with the chest's 등급 — a S 품질 흉내쟁이 is far more dangerous than a D 품질 one.

Holding 흉내내기 이빨 목걸이 forces all standard chests to become 흉내쟁이s. Combine it with 흉내내기 우정 반지 and 흉내쟁이s won't attack you, letting you open every chest for free with no key and no fight.

Destroying chests

Shooting a chest destroys it for a chance at some loot, but not the full contents. Only the player's bullets can break chests — enemy bullets cannot, though enemy explosions still deal damage. Rat Chest cannot be destroyed.

• 고물 — base weight 0.6; multiplied by 1.2 if holding at least one key. If 쓰레기 has not been unlocked yet, this 고물 has a 20% chance to be replaced by 쓰레기
• 반쪽짜리 하트— weight 0.2
• Explosion — weight 0.1
• 아이템 or 총기 at lower 등급 than the chest — weight 0.1; with 상자 해부학, 고물 and explosions are removed from the destruction table and replaced with pickups (열쇠, 하트, 탄약, and so on), and the dropped 등급 improves as well
• 황금 고물 (requires unlock) — weight 0.005; multiplied by 3 if holding 쓰레기
• 쓰레기 (requires unlock) — weight 0.01

Drop chance = that item's weight divided by the sum of all applicable weights. Brown Chest (D 품질) chests don't downgrade further, so they always drop an 아이템 or 총기 if the item/gun slot is rolled.

Standard chests

The five standard colours map to the five 등급 tiers. When a floor generates a chest, its colour is rolled from the table below, weighted more heavily toward high 등급 the deeper you go. These figures do not account for Magnificence downgrades, so what you actually receive can be lower — see What Is Magnificence?.

That is the current (Advanced Gungeons & Draguns) loot table. The Classic loot table can be switched back on from the Gameplay section of the Options menu in 틈 or on the title screen.

Its first three floors are noticeably more conservative: 리드 로드의 성채 is 42.5 / 35 / 15 / 5 / 2.5, 총굴 본관 is 20 / 32.5 / 35 / 9 / 3.5, and 화약 탄광 is 10 / 22 / 50 / 12.5 / 5.5 (listed D 품질 through S 품질). Floors 4 and 5 are identical on both tables.

Brown Chest

D 품질, most common. Some Brown Chest contain only pickups (탄피, hearts, blanks) with no 아이템 or 총기.

Blue Chest

C 품질. Has a higher chance of dropping 아이템 compared to other chest types; 총기 drops are relatively less common.

Green Chest

B 품질. It carries none of the quirks the other colours have — the contents are simply a B 품질 아이템 or 총기.

Red Chest

A 품질. Opening a Red Chest that contains a heart-increasing item also yields an extra key.

Black Chest

S 품질, the rarest standard chest. When a floor generates several Red Chest and Black Chest chests, it raises Magnificence (rarity suppression), making later high-tier rewards more likely to be downgraded — see What Is Magnificence?.

Special chests

Synergy Chest

After rescuing 시너지 상인 – 시너그레이스, normal chests have roughly a 5% chance to be replaced by a Synergy Chest, which always has a fuse.

Opening one reveals its color, which determines what's inside. One is guaranteed to spawn after defeating the 올드킹 (except in Classic mode). Synergy Chest can also be purchased directly from 시너지 상인 – 시너그레이스.

• If blue, it drops an 아이템 or 총기 that completes a synergy with something you're already carrying.
• If red, it drops a random 아이템 or 총기. Completing a synergy is possible, but not guaranteed.

Rainbow Chest

Rainbow Chest have a 0.0333% base chance to replace a normal chest (room-clear reward chests have an additional 0.001% chance, for a combined ~0.0343%). They are never locked and provide 8 아이템 or 총기 (~S 품질 15%, ~A 품질 54%, ~B 품질 31%). Rainbow Chest can also disguise as Brown Chest — this variant only unlocks after breaking at least 5 ordinary Brown Chest; shooting with a liquid weapon or opening it reveals it.

Glitch Chest

A 0.1% chance variant that only appears on floors 1–3. Two conditions must be met: the player must have entered Enter the Gungeon more than 10 times, and must have defeated 주시총 at least once. Opening one instantly transports the player to a glitch version of the next floor containing only a boss room with two Glitch 주시총.

Defeating them rewards 7 총기 or 아이템 plus the standard boss drops and a floor full of pickups. Because the floor drops you straight into the boss room with no chests along the way, all 7 pedestals will normally hold guns as long as you have not picked up a gun on that floor before the bosses die.

Reward pedestals have a high chance of being a 받침대 흉내쟁이, which also makes this a reliable way to run into one and unlock the 흉내쟁이 총 (see All Unlocks Guide: Characters, Guns & Items).

Rat Chest

Found exclusively in the Resourceful Rat's Lair. They require 쥐 열쇠s, dropped during the third Punch-Out phase of the 쥐갈공명 fight (up to six per fight).

After the fight, four Rat Chests appear in random order, containing the 치즈뿌리개, 일부분 먹은 치즈, 쥐갈공명의 자루, and 쥐 장화. Collecting all four transforms the character's appearance. Rat Chests cannot be destroyed. The entrance to the lair is covered in Resourceful Rat's Lair.

• Lockpicking options are limited: 에이키-47 and 쉘레톤 열쇠 cannot open Rat Chests, but 믿음직한 자물쇠 따개 and 드릴 can
• In co-op, if the 쥐갈공명 is killed while one player is dead, every Rat Chest can be opened without a 열쇠 (this does not revive the partner)
• If you already obtained any of the four Rat items before beating the Rat, opening a Rat Chest gives an A 품질 tier 아이템 or 총기 instead
• If any of the four Rat items are still locked, there is no way to tell in advance which chest holds the remaining one

Truth Chest

Found in a secret room with 진리 탐구자 – 알번 형제, with a guaranteed appearance in the 진정한 총의 수도원 (see 진정한 총의 수도원).

Answer his question — it cannot be answered wrongly — to open it for free; it contains 1–2 random-quality pickups, 아이템, or 총기. Destroying it instead drops 뻥이에요. It can also be forced open with 에이키-47; either destroying it or forcing it open makes 진리 탐구자 – 알번 형제 vanish on the spot.

Revival Chest

Co-op exclusive. When one player dies, all unopened chests in the room are replaced by Revival Chests. Opening or breaking any one of them revives the dead player; the remaining chests revert to normal. No key is required. A chest that was originally a 흉내쟁이 simply revives the partner and does not fight back. Check the map first to find the lowest-quality chest to use for the revival.
